This is a really nice hotel. Clean rooms, beautiful view, lovely good sized pool. Good breakfast included too. It’s just nicely away from the main saranda drag, so you would benefit from having a car to make life easier. No food served except breakfast, but there are plenty of places close by that do a nice meal. My only warning. Don’t eat in your room!! We had a packet of crisps and there were ants within an hour. They left once we cleaned it all off though. This seems typical to the area. We had a lovely time and would definitely visit again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina 27 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hotel exceeded my expectations, the cleanliness is amazing.

We were doing a road trip throughout the country so we stayed in a different hotel every night. This one was by far the best we had. The room was big and spacious, the toilet was big and the shower was wonderful. The food is okay but there is various dinner options nearby. There is an underground garage and an outdoor parking “isolated” which is safe. The breakfast is very good and diverse. There is a private beach which is very good and the pool is wonderful. The staff is very pleasant and friendly. Definitely recommend it ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2F62B2CFCDB331CF6203EEDA43D474EC57C6F7041725101550575.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4B57E853C2CA5CED7736654E3233E746AEC7BBF51725101550411.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D26E6C1EFEC3C342EE3B542EF38ABFC84B2E479A1725101526960.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A5AE1E0974DB9DE8FA14C5FF74AD7D086D521C0B1725101533194.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Catia Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Vergjinush 28 Jun 2024 I inquired about an issue with my stay. Without responding they charged my card before my stay even was scheduled to take place. ##### Vergjinush Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Emerson 30 Jul 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities I learned the hard way that in Albania the hotel owner put their own stars, becuase this is not a 4 star hotel and many things to fix ##### Emerson Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Youssef 2 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities In a calm zone at the end of the bay of Sarandë which makes it only accessible by car but halfway to ksamil. The pool is really nice and you have free access to the beach with long chairs and umbrellas. The room is really well equipped: our bathroom mirror had a strobing light though and the safe wouldn't work... The staff is nice, the restaurant is good and relatively cheap! The breakfast is nice and varied but could be better: no choice of eggs cold boiled or sunny side up soaked in oil. The ham and cheese could be better. No fresh juice and the coffee is bad. ##### Youssef Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### NICKI 17 Jun 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff and management rude when confronted about over charging at the bar because we are British! Got ripped off on every drink as they charged double the prices printed on the menu and then refused to rectify it when we realised. Extremely unprofessional. Its a shame they feel the need to rip people off. ##### NICKI Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JUSTINE 3 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hôtel magnifique vue sur piscine et mer en prolongement. Très propre. Personnel super sympa. Chambre spacieuse et moderne avec une très belle déco minimaliste. Encore mieux que sur les photos. Plage privée super sympa, eau transparente et calme. Points négatifs: Ils ne font pas à manger du tout, même des petits "snacks" pour la piscine ou la plage, dommage. Et également un peu bruyant autour la nuit. ##### JUSTINE Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Martin 17 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Der eigene Pool ist das Highlight vom Hotel. Die Zimmer sind sauber und werden gründlich gereinigt. Parkplatz ist leider nicht exklusiv nur für die Hotelgäste. Die Musik von der Beach Bar war zum Teil sehr laut. Das Frühstück war ok. Das Brot war sehr lecker. Das Meer ist sehr wellig und deutlich zu kühl zum baden. Die Lage ist sonst Top zwischen Saranda und Ksamil. Daher Gesamtfazit: Es ist gut aber nicht überragend. Preis deutlich zu hoch. ##### Martin Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne 15 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ruhige und dennoch zentrale Lage. Alles war sauber und komfortabel – genau richtig zum Entspannen. Kostenlose Parkplätze direkt am Hotel. Das Frühstück war vielfältig, frisch und für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Würden jederzeit wieder buchen! ##### Anne Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Blue Water Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ksamil-Hotels-Blue-Water-Hotel.h55444933.Hotel-Information) > > [Olivia's Hill Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durres-Hotels-Olivias-Hill-Resort.h91592411.Hotel-Information) > > [Velipoja Grand Europa Resort, Affiliated by Meliá](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Velipoje-Hotels-Velipoja-Grand-Europa-Resort.h40055140.Hotel-Information) > > [Kevi Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lukove-Hotels-Kevi-Apartments.h40069575.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Airport Tirana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nikel-Hotels-Hotel-Airport-Tirana.h3281349.Hotel-Information) > > [Maritim Hotel Plaza Tirana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tirana-Hotels-Maritim-Hotel-Plaza-Tirana.h12580932.Hotel-Information) > > [Regina Blu Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orikum-Hotels-Hotel-Regina.h48239120.Hotel-Information) > > [Sol Tropikal Durres](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durres-Hotels-Sol-Tropikal-Durres.h5333939.Hotel-Information) > > [Granda Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tirana-Hotels-Granda-Hotel.h82968779.Hotel-Information) > > [VH Eurostar Durres Hotel & Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durres-Hotels-VH-Belmond-Durres-Hotel-Restaurant.h59950242.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Saranda Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarande-Hotels-Hotel-Saranda-Palace.h33409034.Hotel-Information) > > [VH Eurostar Tirana Hotel Congress & Venere Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tirana-Hotels-VH-EUROSTAR-TIRANA-HOTEL-CONGRESS.h58110568.Hotel-Information) > > [Arameras Eco Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ksamil-Hotels-Arameras-Beach-Resort.h66888550.Hotel-Information) > > [King Hotel Ksamil](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ksamil-Hotels-King-Hotel-Ksamil.h54215532.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Colosseo & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shkoder-Hotels-Hotel-Colosseo-Spa.h25032160.Hotel-Information) > > [Tirana Marriott](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tirana-Hotels-Tirana-Marriott.h89735813.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Blue Fafa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golem-Hotels-Grand-Blue-Fafa.h36018335.Hotel-Information) > > [Doanesia Premium Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tirana-Hotels-Doanesia-Premium-Hotel-Spa.h92066677.Hotel-Information) > > [Mondial Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tirana-Hotels-Mondial-Hotel.h2813082.Hotel-Information) > > [Green House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tirana-Hotels-Green-House-Hotel.h13280354.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Vasiliu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ksamil-Hotels-Vila-Vasiliu.h34866203.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Durres Albania](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ishem-Hotels-Melia-Durres-Albania.h88467907.Hotel-Information) > > [Adriatik Hotel, BW Premier Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durres-Hotels-Adriatik-Hotel-Resort.h21459234.Hotel-Information) > > [Maritim Marina Bay Luxury Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vlore-Hotels-Maritim-Marina-Bay-Luxury-Resort.h72302504.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Padam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tirana-Hotels-Hotel-Padam.h21829140.Hotel-Information) > > [Yacht Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vlore-Hotels-Yacht-Hotel.h41973710.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Kalcuni](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarande-Hotels-Vila-Kalcuni.h19364685.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Elisa Tirana, Affiliated by Meliá](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tirana-Hotels-Elisa-Hotel-Tirana-Affiliated-By-Melia.h89635701.Hotel-Information)
